Amazing, Unique, Perfect! That's how I would describe Chelsea and Matt's place. The room is even nicer, bigger and more dreamy than the already beautiful pictures. Chelsea has the most amazing taste, so everything is beautiful and perfect. It's like your staying and a five star hotel, with all the details taken care of. And just to make the stay even better they are amazing hosts! So sweet, kind and considerate. Don't think twice! So worth every cent! Location perfect! House amazing! Hosts incredible!

MafaldaSeptember 2016

Best stay ever! Chelsea and Matt thought of everything. The room was well appointed, clean, and welcoming. Loved waking up in this hidden paradise to a gentle tropical breeze and sound of a tranquil river. The record player, pebble stone shower, assorted teas, and fresh fruit are just a few of the luxuries we enjoyed. We will definitely come back!

Erik + KatieNovember 2016

The space that Chelsea (and Matt) have built is as lovely as it is creative. The suite reflects Pacific Island architecture in a charming and thoughtful way. No detail was ignored. The guest suite radiated calmness and tranquility. The rock floor in the bathroom along with the massive rain shower created a joyful space in which to wash off the sand collected from heat-soaked days at the beach. The bed was crisp and perfect and the sound of the river through open windows was as calming as a lullaby. We loved every minute spent on the property and the Frenchies and warm welcomes from Chelsea and Matt made you feel as if you were sleeping at a friend's place. This place is definitely worth every penny and more. Thank you Chelsea and Matt for an exceptional three days.

evanSeptember 2016

We received a warm welcome from Chelsea and Matt and felt right at home. The place is located in a wonderful spot along a small river. Its nicely designed interior and the nature around it give it a pleasant ambience. It truly enables you to escape from everyday life. Beaches and trails are close by. Poke and other food is a short drive to Hanalei away. Chelsea and Matt are great hosts. They respected our privacy but were available whenever we needed them.

RubenAugust 2016

Fantastic place! We could not be happier that we stayed with Matt & Chelsea. They have a lovely home and give you a lot of privacy and make you feel comfortable.

JohannesNovember 2016

We had a great stay at Chelsea and Matt's place. The room and the overall fit-out was absolutely beautiful and the little touches provided by the hosts made the experience very special, especially the record player and the collection of vinyl records, comfy bed, and super soft sheets and towels. The place has a really lovely vibe, and is quite romantic and very picturesque.

AnyaSeptember 2016

This was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at! The room is sooo beautiful, very clean and the location, just next to a small creek, wonderful. Chelsea and Matt are very friendly and welcoming. They offered us beer and fruits on our arrival and were pleased to give us grear advices about what do to and where to go. I would reccomend this location to everyone! Thank you Chelsea and Matt for making our stay perfect :)

NancyAugust 2016

We loved our stay with matt and Chelsea! The accommodation was in a nice peaceful location, it is nice and spacious, was beautifully styled, very new and clean, the big king bed was super comfy and the bathroom was really nice. Matt and Chelsea were great hosts, super friendly, helpful and respectful. We had a great time and if we returned to Kauai we would definitely stay with them again! My only recommendation to anyone visiting kauai in general is if you are renting a car on the island try to rent a 4wd/SUV/jeep, especially if you are adventurous. A lot of the island has unsealed bumpy roads and car parks. Would be a pain in a flash new sports car. Save that for the other islands. Thanks Matt and chelsea for having us!! Adam and Carla. X

KristenAugust 2016

Thank you Devaki for offering your wonderful place to us. It was a treat. What a location, what a host :) We could not wished for more. Thanks, Tom

TomApril 2016

Devaki was a great host. She's on property so she's available but leaves you your space. As a former resident I know how great it is to be close to the bay & in Hanalei. We had a great time & the views of the mountains & stars as we awoke were awesome. I'd highly recommend this to any couple coming to Kauai.

Andy & JennyFebruary 2016

We had a fantastic stay and the house was the perfect base to explore Hanalei and the surrounding area. Devaki was extremely helpful and friendly and a great host. We'd definitely come back!

Spent two nights at Esteban's and definitely wish we had more time here. Hard to beat the location on the north shore: Steps away from a non touristy beach, close to Tunnels and Na Pali, and just the right distance from the more touristy Princeville. Esteban was very communicative and even provided snorkel gear. Highly recommend staying here.

What a magical spot! House is perfectly located - close to some of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. Kili was a great host - answered all our questions and willing to help with anything we needed. Thanks again!

PhilippaJanuary 2016

Kilian made us feel very welcome! Even though she was out of town, she went out of her way to help us book activities in the area. The house was cean, comfortable, and in a very nice area. Can't say enough good about our experience here! !!

BruceNovember 2016

Nice place. Large and clean and very comfortable. This was a great spot for little kids. Lots of space and safe. Bikes, paddle boards, beach chairs and the like were a plus. We hiked, paddled and hung out at the beach. Kili and Steve were helpful and responsive hosts. There is a beach across the street that you can see and hear from the house. For a good swimming beach, you'll want to walk five minutes. The house has lots of space around it and is very quiet. The front yard faces lush green mountains and is very nice in the morning. This is a beautiful and remote place- for grocery stores and restaurants, you will need to drive 20 minutes. The ocean was too rough for swimming most of the week we were there.

JuliaNovember 2015

The description of this property and reviews are spot on. Two things stood out to my family of four while at the property. First, the property was immaculately clean. We are very picky about cleanliness, and this place was spotless. Second, our host Kili was awesome! She left us a great welcome note and surprise for our special occasion. She also checked in with us (via text) regularly to make sure we had everything needed and to help us with decisions about what to do on the island. We will definitely return!

MichaelOctober 2015

Great location for the best beaches and snorkeling in Kauai. The house is right by the main road, but since it's not a through-road there is mostly traffic to and from the beaches. During night there is little traffic and we slept with open windows, to the sound of the ocean. Right across the road is a beach and a few minutes walk along the the beach to the left there is calmer waters and snorkeling. But the best beaches and amazing snorkeling is at Tunnels and the other beaches only minutes away by car. We were two families sharing the house, and it was spacious with two bedrooms on each side of the common rooms. The queen rooms were a bit small, and with washing machine and dryer in the closet of one of the bedrooms making it a bit cramped and nowhere to put our clothes. The kitchen was well equipped, although a bit short on cutlery. We got a basket full of towels and beach towels, and there was plenty of umbrellas, beach chairs, beach matrasses, snorkeling gear, cooler etc It rained all nights and at least once during day the time we spent there. After a couple of days the house got really humid and clothes and beds were damp. We did miss a lanai or patio to sit outdoors and relax. There is an outdoor dining table, but it's not fully covered when raining. We therefore spent more time indoors than anticipated, and therefore only cooked dinner once at the house and would drive 20 min to Hanalei for dinner to get out and away. The best about this rental is the location, the house itself is ok

MonaJuly 2016

Kilikina, I cannot say enough about your wonderful home. It was the perfect location to relax and see the sights of Kauai. Your home is very clean and the perfect size for a family of 7. The private beach across the road was beautiful and we woke up to beautiful sunrises every morning. Anything we needed, you were available immediately to accommodate. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. We said this was a once in a lifetime trip, but we are already planning for the next trip so expect to hear from us. I also recommended your house to one of my neighbors. She saw pictures and was very impressed. Sorry about the sand in the beds! My kids did their best to scrub off the sand before coming into the house! Thank you, again, for your graciousness. The Davalos Family

DanaOctober 2014

The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be near Hanalei, and Limahuli Gardens and a quieter end of the island. Kili was very welcoming and responded to all our needs promptly.

KarenAugust 2016

Kili and Steve were the best! Very helpful is an understatement. Haena Hale is in a great spot and is a huge house. 6-8 people easy. Comfy beds, great lounging room. One and half baths with a bonus outside shower. We rode their bikes to Tunnels Beach. We strapped their available SUP's to our jeep, filled the cooler up and went to Hanalei Beach for a great afternoon. Amazing beaches, scenery and of course hiking the Kalalau Trail were highlights of our North Shore visit. Staying at Haena Hale made it even better. Mahalo.

North shore Haena, leave the stress at home, minutes to Kalalau trail, minutes to Hanalei and walk to Tunnels beach with amazing snorkeling and a breathtaking view of Bali Hai (Mt. Makana), come stay with us and experience the real Kauai.

First impression: paradise. The house was immaculate, warm and welcoming. The location is perfect, tucked in the jungle but walkable to snorkeling at tunnels or to the cosy town of Hanalai. Our host Russ treated us like family. He went out of the way to help with anything we needed, especially when my wife hurt herself surfing. Really felt like even better than home. 100% recommend this place and we WILL stay with them again in the winter. Airbnb dream place.

Jordan August 2016

Russ and Janet's place is wonderful. It is a bit outside of Hanalei, really close to beaches, and Tunnels. The room is very clean and has everything you need; coffee maker, toaster, TV, working Wifi... We had a great time and hope to stay with them again soon

MaximilianNovember 2016

Nice place in a great location. Easy access to everything the north shore has to offer. Russ and Janet were great hosts.

JamieJuly 2016

Russ and Janet very very welcoming hosts and went out of their way to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. The room was very clean and we had a great time. Their place is very well located close to fantastic beaches and only 10 minutes drive back to Hanalei to restaurant and shops.

CamSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay with Russ and Jeanette. They showed us really good places for stand up paddeling. I can recommend to everybody to stay here. Perfect location to check out Kauai.

TimoOctober 2016

Russ and Janet were very welcoming and helpful hosts. They gave us good information about activities, restaurants and places to visit. The room is rather small, but was clean and had everything we needed.

LeaOctober 2016

We loved our stay with Russ and Janet. They were kind and attentive and made us feel welcome. As long as you are comfortable with driving to and from Hanalei for day to day needs, the location is perfectly situated near fabulous beaches such as Tunnels and Ke'e. They knew exactly where to point us for hiking, paddle boarding, snorkeling and more. I regret not making time to take Russ up on surfing lessons. The room may be small, and it may not be resort life, but the experience was invaluable and at least worth every penny.

This home was perfect in every way, and just as Mary describes in the listing. She was very accommodating and the home is just that: a home into which you are an invited and welcome guest. If you love the north shore and its quiet beauty, you will love the home and location.

JenniferJanuary 2016

Mary was very quick to respond to the few inquiries I had before my stay. The house is only a 10 minute drive past Hanalei Bay and 5 minutes from Ha'ena State Park and Ke'e Beach (where hikes along the Napali coast begin). The house is in great shape -- modern kitchen, two full-sized bathrooms, laundry, and beach items supplied. Although the house is right off the main road, there isn't much traffic passing in the middle of the night. It's pretty secluded and a nice change of pace from the condo complexes I stayed at on the south side of the island. I would definitely stay here again!

MichaelMay 2015

The host was super helpful and responsive in resolving all the issues. The house was pretty great and we felt pretty welcome. The only two things I would note are that like other people said the road noise can be a little be surprising and that it is about a 15-20 min drive from the town of Hanalei Bay. We enjoyed the remoteness of the house but others my not. Would definitely stay there again.

DarrinAugust 2015

Very clear & thorough communication from the host regarding location, house info, expectations, etc. Very well-maintained home with everything one needs for a beach vacation on the North Shore. Great beach access. Home is even nicer in person than in photos, we'd say. Had a great stay there and good sleep on the comfortable bed.

Ben & KatjaMay 2016

Our November stay in Mary's place was nice. The photos are true to the actual space. We were greeted by the outdoor "house" cat which our 3 yr old loved petting and feeding. The adjoining neighbors were a non-issue and we didn't even know they were there. Hopefully they felt the same about us. The space was clean and well maintained and had a bit of a hotel feel with the white bathroom towels. Being on the second floor, it was a bit warm, but fans and windows helped to move the air around. The house sits on the main road that goes (almost) around the island. While it's not crazy busy, the cars are right outside the bedroom window, so noise may be an issue for some people. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a nice supply of beach towels. The towels and bedding never smelled musty as can happen in such a moist land. Always love an outside shower to wash away the sand before going inside, and the indoor stone shower was blissful after a long day at the beach. And we appreciated the second bedroom/bathroom being kid-friendly. The beach is an easy walk, but note that the waters were strong in this area during our visit. We still enjoyed walks and got to see a couple of gorgeous monk seals basking in the sun. A heads up for future renter's, there are two houses with the same number address, however the first one you'll come to has an "A" and this is NOT your house. Keep going to the third driveway from there and then you've arrived. Thanks for a lovely stay!

JenniferNovember 2015

We had a wonderful time staying at Mariana's Haena House. The neighborhood was relaxing and close to a lot of what we wanted to do on Kauai's North Shore. The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and spacious. Exactly what we were looking for to kick off our honeymoon. The nearby beaches are beautiful, a short walk down the beach to Tunnels/Haena beach park provided excellent views, soft sand, great snorkeling, and swimming. We did not get to meet Mariana in person, but she was responsive, friendly in communication, and a gracious host. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in the area. Thanks!

NicoleSeptember 2014

We booked this rental for 3 nights in early October but left after the first night because we were so disappointed. We asked for a partial refund and Mary declined with the reasoning "we declined a full week booking because of your booking so we cannot refund you." Here was our experience: We arrived around 8pm and had a bit of a hard time finding the place. The house is right off the main road and it's tricky to spot. The key is conveniently in a lock box on the front door so getting into the house was no problem. Once inside, we were startled to hear voices coming from what we thought was the garage. What is not made clear in the description of this property is that this house is split into two rental properties. One studio apt downstairs, and the main structure upstairs. Had we know this we would have booked a different property. Next we went up two flights of stairs to the second floor where our rental was. Inside we had a heck of a time finding lights that worked. The overhead light and the lamp in the master bedroom didn't work and the central kitchen island light didn't work. We were using our iPhone flashlights to fumble around the place flipping switches until something worked. As we were checking out the rest of the house we noticed in the bathroom, the toilet brush and stand had been tossed into the shower and was laying there on it's side. While it's not the end of the world, it was extremely uninviting and made the whole place feel a little unclean. Hands down the worst part of our experience was the lack of air conditioning as it had many side effects. Mary reminded me in our discussion that A/C was clearly not included in the Amenities and she's correct that it's crossed out on the desktop site. However, on the mobile app, it doesn't say anything about no A/C and since we booked through mobile, it was not clear to us that there was no A/C. The obvious issue with no A/C was that it was muggy inside. Neither of us slept well. There was an overhead fan (light burned out) and a floor fan that at least moved the air a bit. Also, since the house was directly off the main road and all of the windows had to be open to create some kind of circulation. The listing mentions the ability to hear the ocean and birds - we just heard cars. Prior to posting this I sent an additional message to the owner with all of the above information asking again for a refund which was declined because "We never implied there is AC IN OUR HOUSE Sorry but our cancelation policy is strict." We were uncomfortable and unhappy and the host was unwilling to do anything about. So much for hospitality.

BryanOctober 2015

Mary informed us we were able to check in early and was also available by telephone to answer a few questions. We loved being able to walk to the beach from the house. This house is spacious and feels like you're living in the treetops as it's all on the second floor. Parking was easy and secure. Neighbors were quiet and respectful.

Susan's gorgeous property was so accommodating, inviting, beautifully decorated and the perfect location both on the island and within Hanalei. We especially appreciated the comfortable king bed, bike use and recommendations to go to the farmer's market and Dolphin fish market. Mahalo, Susan, for making our stay unforgettable! We would go back in a heartbeat!

ClaireJune 2016

We had a great four nights at the front suite at Hale Haha. The place was clean and fully stocked with everything we could need and more. We used the beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels, and had the surf not been so big we would have tried out the surfboards too. The house is perfectly situated to walk to the beach and also into town to the great restaurants and shops. We had several great day trips to Na Pali and the east side for some gentler surfing. A great trip and we are already planning our return trip and thinking about whether we can recruit friends to rent the entire home next time. Thank you Susan!

CarolynJanuary 2016

we stayed in Susan's Garden room studio during our stay on the North Shore of Kauai end of October. Already by welcoming us and enter the Room, we felt that we will have a great time here. The atmosphere is lovely and everything what is needed to make the vacation perfect is available. Susan was a great host and my husband and me enjoyed the talks with her about Kauai and its people. For sure we want to come back- we are missing the place already now!

wonderful apartment, great vibes, perfect location in hanalei... there is all you need at the house for spending a great time...! talking of aloha-spirit, you will find it in susan's house...!

RetoDecember 2014

My partner and I stayed in the room facing the waterfalls with a small balcony for 6 nights. The location as central, easily in walking distance to all the beaches and local restaurants; 30 minute car ride to amazing hikes near Makana; 20 minute car ride to Tunnels; 90 minute car ride to the Southern beaches. Susan provides the requirements for all of the beach activities you could imagine with surf boards, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, chairs, towels and umbrellas. Susan is more than accommodating and proved fantastic with requests and responses. I have three thorns: first, the local daycare is directly adjacent so do not expect to sleep past 7am without children screaming; second, there was no full kitchen stovetop or hot plate to make meals for a long stay; third, Susan does not provide locks on the doors despite the home manual suggestion you lock up valuables - so expensive camera equipment has to brave a hot car or challenge the safety record of the Island. Overall you can expect above average walkability, above average customer service, above average views if facing the mountains, and average amenities. Kauai as an island, though, is a Must See.

ThomasOctober 2014

Host was available and helpful! Clean home with everything we needed in a great location. What more could you ask for?

KevinOctober 2015

Susan was very kind, welcoming and gracious. The private suite had everything needed for a restful peaceful retreat in Hanalei. For a lone quiet traveler it is the perfect place. The location is in a residential neighborhood next to a preschool and respectful local Hawaiian homes with children. Naturally in Kauai windows are open for airflow which also means that sound travels. If you would feel inhibited or restricted by keeping noise down and observing quiet time at 9pm, then it might not be the place for you. However, if that works perfectly for you, you will enjoy a bright and light space with great mountain views just a few minutes walk to Hanalei Bay, Hanalei town and to the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. And yes, there really are rainbow and waterfall views from the front suite!

JudyMay 2015

I stayed in the mountain suite for a week and had a wonderful visit. The room is spacious and cozy, and as the name implies, has a great view of the nearby mountains. Everything in town (beach included) was in walkable distance, but it was much more fun riding around on the beach bikes that Susan provides there at the house. I am already planning on booking this place again for my return trip next year!

Tucked away on an acre of garden paradise along the Wainiha River, perched on a bluff overlooking the entire river valley, a truly breathtaking view. Enjoy your private pool and spa and some of the worlds most beautiful beaches only 2 miles away.

The river valley is so relaxing and serene, the colors are so rich and vibrant it feels unreal. The property orffers privacy, and a dramatic expansive view of the entire river valley with neighboring taro farm and spectacular vistas of distant mountains. Relax and enjoy the amazing views from the deck or from your private pool and hot tub. Starry nights in the hot tub are truly magical. And the pool is cool and refreshing after a hot day at the beach. Or the perfect morning wake up. The large yard is like a botanical garden filled with exotic birds and flowers and fruit trees. Pick a Papaya or a Banana, cut some giant Heliconia flowers. The property meanders down to over 200' of private stream, feel free to take a refreshing dip. The sounds of the river and the croaking frogs will lull you to sleep. This lush valley is a serene retreat, nourishing the soul with natures greatest beauty while offering all the modern comforts of home, you almost won't want to leave the property.

You'll feel so far away, and yet the house is ridiculously close to the best beaches on the island, Tunnels, Lumahai, Ke'e and Hanalei. Firstly, Lumaha'i, just 1 mile away, with its long deep stretches of soft sand broken by picturesque protrusions of lava rocks creating dramatic ocean breaks. Tunnels Beach has an amazing reef and offers the best snorkeling on the island, also surfing and the mountain backdrop creates amazing views. At the end of the road is the dramatic Ke'e beach. Besides its great snorkeling, and sunsets, this is the gateway to the amazing Napali Coast offering one of the worlds most spectacular hikes. The 2 mile hike to Hanakapia'i Beach with it's expansive ocean vistas is a 'must do', but if you can do the additional 2 miles to the Hanakapia'i Falls you're in for the treat of a lifetime. A large pool fed by a 300' waterfall, just spectacular!! Wainiha is surrounded by the best snorkeling, surfing, kayaking and hiking on all of the Hawaiian islands. You'll never have to leave this magical corner of the island.
Just 4 miles away is Hanalei Bay with its pristine 3 mile crescent beach of fine sand and perfect surf. The quaint town of Hanalei offers interesting shops, a market, and world class dining. My personal favorites are 'Tahiti Nui' (live music, good Mai Tais) and the 'Dolphin' (freshest sushi you've ever eaten). You can rent kayaks and paddle up the Hanalei river or out to the bay, paddle to Hideaways beach and snorkel, or just land at the St. Regis beach and have lunch at the poolside cafe, (sneak a dip in their beautiful pool). Also you can go Horseback Riding or Ziplining at the Princeville Ranch, or take the amazing Helicoptor ride from the Princeville Heliport. Or do it my way, just take a book and relax on a quiet beach. You'll have your private paradise waiting for your every day when you're ready to go home.
The Hale Wainiha is a licensed Transient Vacation Rental: TVR#1065 TVR#1065

Gorgeously situated and as described, however (and we should've thought of this in advance) if you have issue with mosquitos as my husband does you may want to stay closer to the beach. He really couldn't use the gorgeous outdoor space. The location is about 15 minutes from the town where most of the restaurants are, we didn't mind this as its a beautiful drive. The one thing that was pretty terrible was the constant hum from the toilet. It made for a pretty rough nights sleep. I imagine a new toilet would get rid of this though. The house itself is as described. I would just caution that it maybe needs some updating. Otherwise, gorgeous and private. The surrounding mountain is just breathtaking, the view from inside and out is mesmerizing.

We are a short 2-3 minute stroll into Tunnels beach. This is the nicest beach for snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing. We are in a natural ecological tropical environment, with a true country Hawaiian-style Polynesian authentic feel, and in a rural atmosphere setting.

We are situated in Haena on the North shore of Kauai, which is surrounded by many spectacular beaches. You will enjoy exploring the natural locations in the area, which include sea caves, waterfalls, breathtaking scenery and endless white sand beaches. At the end of the road is the awesome Napali trail, which begins at Ke'e beach (a beautiful gem). Here you can begin your hike on the edge of the mountains along the Napali coastline where the tropical flora and fauna jungle blend into the multi-blue shades of the Pacific Ocean.

Glass vessel sinks in bathrooms and glass tile are mixed with Bali river rock stone detail in the kitchen and baths, which create a modern tropical Hawaiian style beach house environment. The house is elevated for better views and a cooling trade wind airflow throughout the house. There are 17-foot high vaulted ceilings.The house has a large yard with numerous palms and tropical foliage set among landscaped sculptures.

Less than 1000 ft from a beautiful sand beach, this studio apartment with screened lanai boasts a bit of an ocean view and a lovely mountain view. Close to the island's most famous beaches and hiking trail. Five miles from charming Hanalei town.

A studio apartment with full kitchen and king bed, plus a screened lanai with a peek at the ocean. The lanai features a punee (single bed) for relaxed enjoyment, or an extra person, and a table for dining. Premium cable TV/DVD, gas barbecue, wireless internet. At the end of an intimate cul-de-sac less than 1000 feet from a sandy beach. There is a coffee shop/art gallery, Mediterranean-style restaurant for fine dining, and the Hanalei Day Spa for massages and facials virtually across the street. Located about two miles from the Kalalau Trailhead, and five miles past Hanalei town, you'll find yourself in the nicest most scenic part of the island of Kaua`i. Public transportation stops at Hanalei. No children under 12, please.
Beach gear, gas barbecue, TV and Bose CD/sound dock/alarm/radio.
"Keurig K-Cup Brewer" and a small assortment of K-Cups for start-up. (A traditional coffee maker is also available)
It is entirely up to the guest. We and the owners are available most waking hours.

The proximity of beaches and hiking trails, and the ambience of Kauai's unique North Shore, which can be found nowhere else.
Although the listing says a minimum stay of 1 day, we will only consider a reservation fewer than 3 days, either adjacent to another reservation or very near an arrival date.

Great place to stay and everything was as expected. So close to the beach and morning coffee at Hanalei Colony Resort with fresh eggs provided by the hosts made the morning ! Enjoyed our time thoroughly.

Dominic March 2016

Kalalau Cottage is the perfect base camp for the Kalalau Trail. Fresh fruit and delicious eggs awaited us compliments of Dave, the friendly owner. A warm shower was such a treat after the long hike back from Kalalau, and a comfortable bed was a luxury after camping on the beach for four nights.

JoeJuly 2016

My husband and I loved staying at the Kalalau Cottage in May. The cottage was very clean, the shower was good pressure and hot. The screened in lanai is great, we had no problems with bugs at all while hanging outside, and I was concerned about mosquitoes, but actually I never saw any in Kauai the week we were there. The cottage stayed cool enough to take afternoon naps. There was a fan in the closet that works magic to cool things down. Dave was friendly and helpful for our check in, we were greeted with papaya, eggs, and tropical flowers. It was nice having access to laundry and beach gear. As others said, the roosters are very loud. Make sure you wear your earplugs because they start at 3:45 am on the dot, I was actually impressed with their consistency on that, as animals. Having a fridge and kitchen was a big perk. There was also a coffee shop and restaurant across the way at the resort. We got coffee every morning from there. This location is close to tunnels beach, which we spent a lot of time at, I highly recommend it. I saw turtles snorkeling there every day. It's also nice being close to Hanalei (15 minutes) for grocery, dining, and other activities. We went on a Na Pali Coast boat/snorkel ride from Hanalei, it was the highlight of our trip. The only oopsie is that the bed broke the last night as my husband casually sat up in bed and the bottom dropped out from underneath him. We had to take the mattress off and tool around, but were able to make it work for the rest of the night. It looks like it was an old ikea frame and the particleboard frame had rotted out. Not much you can do to avoid that. I hope they had time to fix/replace before the next round of guests. All in all, a lovely stay and I'd recommend the spot for my friends.

EmmaMay 2016

Very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Quiet location between Hanalei and the end of the road. Beautiful quiet beach (not necessarily a swimming beach) within a 2 minute walk. Very good value for this location. Fresh eggs, bananas and papayas were a fabulous touch.

CherylNovember 2015

Great little place. The hosts were friendly and available if needed, but gave us our privacy. They gave us fresh chicken eggs and papaya upon arrival! We asked for a late checkout pretty last minute and they were accommodating. :) Overall very clean, but there were some hairs leftover in the shower from the previous guest. There are adorable chickens in the yard, but the roosters start crowing very early. We were happy with our stay!

MikaelaApril 2016

We absolutely loved the cottage - it was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The location couldn't be beat with easy beach access and a quick drive into Hanalei. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and to recommend to friends and family.

JuliaMay 2014

We got in very late and left early, so we didn't meet Dave until our second night. He brought over eggs and was super friendly. When we first arrived, we were startled at first by the barking of a dog. I was not expecting that, nor was I expecting as much of a neighborhood as it was. My boyfriend and I discussed this at length. He liked the fact that it felt like we were in a neighborhood and he could hear people living their lives around us, walking and talking with pets... I was looking for complete seclusion, so it was a bit of an adjustment for me. I felt like I was surrounded by people. If you are looking for complete seclusion, I would say keep your mind open to experiencing community instead. It's not noisy or intrusive, but it will require that you wrap a towel around yourself before you go out to relax on that incredible front lanai. As with most places, have some basic supplies with you to include coffee filters. The location is a dream... Super close to the towns and the parks and trails. The drive is stunning. I would stay there again, and I would know better what to expect with regard to community.

barbaraApril 2016

The host was there to welcome us in and gave us some tropical fruit from the trees in the yard along with local honey and eggs. Beautiful and comfortable location, great getaway vacation spot. Walked to the beach in the mornings and its a very short drive to Hanalei and to great Napali Coast hiking. The roosters wake up early but you tend to get used to it and they taper off(bring ear plugs). Its worth the experience of the beauty and nature that this location is immersed in. Our host was very communicable, helpful, and friendly when we needed something. Otherwise we had all the privacy we needed. I would definitely stay here again. I left feeling very grateful :)

This two story house has 3 bedrooms (2 King bedroom suites and 1 bedroom with 3 twin beds, 2 of the twin beds are brand new).

All of the bedrooms have A/C - a rare feature among homes in Hanalei. Each King suite is designed with full privacy in mind and have private bathrooms. Heading up the Kauaian Kamani paneled staircase to the second floor you'll find views from the dining room (which comfortably seats 8), the cozy living room, and the fabulous Ipe lanai. Also on the second floor is the third A/C bedroom with 3 Twin beds that can be used for the keikis or converted to another King bed.
There's the "shower room" and a full stainless steel, fully stocked kitchen upstairs as well. We believe the preparation of meals is a major part of the vacation rental experience and want yours to be fun, easy and memorable.
We've used the local jungle fowl, the Mo'a (and the ever present yet never the same Kauai Rooster) as inspiration for the colors in our new house. Nature is bold and amazing, so we decided to give in to the power! Our cock's comb red floors are dazzling and inspirational while the dark wood trim and tropical wood accents and natural slate bathrooms bring an earthiness to the overall design of the house. We have a reputation for cleanliness and offering everything that you might need in your home in Hanalei.
The house can accommodate up to 9 people (in the Living Room we have a pull-out sofa bed) but is best suited for two couples or a small family (with or without a Nanny!)
The exterior is lushly landscaped and framed for privacy. Although we are on the main road through Hanalei, once you enter the Hanalei Waterfall House gate you are transported to another dimension. There is a small guest house on the property where the owners stay when on island. Each house has a separate entrance and the parking area is on the main road.
Hanalei is many things to many people; it's the surf of famous Hanalei Bay, moments away from this home situated at the start of Hanalei town. People come from around the globe to see the endangered Hawaiian goose, the Nene, fly freely overhead. Many species of birds, including the endangered and endemic, can be seen from the lanai.
You're welcome to use the entire home as it is your own private space during your stay. The property is shared with the home directly behind the Hanalei Waterfall House. We ask that you please respect the property and privacy of your neighbors.
We're happy to answer any questions you may have at any time.
We offer concierge service for a full range of activities including:
*Massages
*Personal shopping
*Private Chef
*Private yoga/pilates/personal training
*Bike Rental
*Surf board/SUP rental
*Surf lessons
*Guided Hikes
*Kayak tours
*Ziplining
*Flight and Helicopter tours
*Napali Coast and other boat tours
*Sport fishing
*Horseback riding

Hanalei Bay is a walkable beach town famous for it’s beautiful shoreline, epic surf spots, and iconic waterfall strewn mountain views. There is a Big Save grocery store and Harvest Market Health Food store, as well as several quaint boutique shops, and a few restaurants and bars. Enjoy a freshly squeezed morning beverage at the Akamai Juice Company (in the Tahiti Nui) or hot cup of coffee at the Hanalei Bread Company. Lunch time favorites are found at the food trucks; Pat’s Tacos at the Hanalei Pier parking lot, Fresh Bite and Turmeric Cafe, on Kuhio Hwy just west of our office, and Hanalei Taro Company, on Kuhio Hwy just east of our office. No day at the beach in Hawaii is complete without a shave ice treat from Wishing Well Shave Ice. For dinner we love the Hanalei Dolphin for Sushi or Barracuda. Biking can be a quick, enjoyable way to get around town and we can help with rentals along with surf board or SUP rentals to enjoy in the bay or on the river.
Hanalei is a walkable or bikeable town and that is probably the most efficient way to travel just around town. If you want to see the rest of Kauai there is an island wide bus, however driving will give you the most freedom with your schedule. There is a private driveway for parking for your rental car. If you want to see all the north shore of Kauai has to offer without the hassle of parking in Hanalei or at the end of the road, there is a shuttle you can take that makes many stops in Princeville, Hanalei, and Haena. It's especially great for traveling to the end of the road in Haena where you can find Ke'e Beach and the trailhead for Hanakapia'i Falls and Kalalau. The fare is $4 and here is the link to the schedule: http://www.kauai.gov/NorthShoreShuttle
Rates include the 13.42% GET and TAT tax required by Hawaiian government.

Our trip was great. The house has two big bedrooms on the ground level and a room with twin beds on the second floor. Plenty of space for your group and Lisa was incredibly responsive throughout our booking / stay. There are beach supplies available as well

JonathanFebruary 2016

House was as described (well-appointed, clean, convenient, easy to access, and good layout), walking distance to shopping and dining in downtown Hanalei (Ching Young Village, etc). The only potential downside is that the house is located right on the main thoroughfare through downtown Hanalei, leading to a bit of traffic noise from the street during busy times of the day. Other than that, it was a great stay!!

Just across the street from the sand, Hale Hoku is a 3bedroom/2bathroom beach cottage with a sunny and open floor plan. Built up on post and pier, it is as if you are residing in your own private and breezy treehouse!

All the rooms in the home have ceilings fans which enhance the wonderful trade winds that Kauai has to offer.
The large grassy back yard sets the perfect stage for taking in the brilliant Kauai nighttime sky or a ripe opportunity to test your green thumb on the various fruit trees. Being just steps from the beach and town, the home's location couldn't be more ideal.

Hanalei is a 2-mile long half-moon bay with white sand and majestic mountains - more than just beautiful, Hanalei is also an amazing ocean playground. Loved by visitors and residents alike, there is no place like Hanalei.
While Hanalei is small enough to get around by foot or bike, a car is recommended if wanting to travel outside of the area.

The property was absolutely beautiful and actually much nicer than the photos even show. It's recently been remodeled with gorgeous hardwood floors and new bathroom finishes. The location could not be more ideal as you are literally a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk from town. We had an issue with our wash machine and Kahea was there to fix it within 24 hours which we really appreciated. She was very responsive and did all she could to make our stay a great one. Check in/ out was really simple and I really appreciate all the extra beach towels in the home! The only downside was that the current photos show 2 rooms with queen beds and one with a king when in actually the third room has a twin bed + a bunk bed. We would not have rented the home had we known that since we had three couples. Hopefully these photos are fixed soon so that nobody else runs into the same issues. Another thing to note is that none of the homes in Hanalei have AC so it can get pretty warm at night. Not a big deal with the windows open but just something to be aware of as we were fairly surprised.

This place is absolutely wonderful and is VERY well appointed. Management is great as well. Needed help using the safe and they were prompt in coming to my aid! Used the beach chairs, boogie boards and umbrella provided and liked that there is a washer and dryer. Plenty of towels as well. Comfy beds. Very short walk to town and to the beach. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

SummerMay 2016

The property is clean and is in a good location close to Hanalei beach and town. However, the pictures make it appear as though you can simply walk across a green lawn to access the beach. This is inaccurate, as the beach is blocked by private properties. You have to walk down the street to reach the public access to the beach. The host is not very responsive to e-mails and is not truthful or transparent. We booked this 3 bedroom property first then needed a larger 4 bedroom home and wanted to be beachfront. We informed her that we would like to upgrade and would be happy to pay the difference. We asked if she had any other properties fitting this description and she was dishonest and said no. She tried to give us a different property that was not beachfront. We found a 4 bedroom, beachfront property on VRBO that was also managed by her. We emailed her to ask her if we could upgrade from this property to the VRBO property. She did not respond at all. We booked the 2nd property on VRBO and she accepted full payment. The 2nd property was 3 times as expensive as the first but we were happy to pay the difference. She then informed us that in order to move from the 1st property to the 2nd property, we would have to pay a 50% cancellation fee on the 1st property. Mind you, we were upgrading between 2 properties that she manages, not canceling a reservation. I told her that she was not honest or transparent when she knew that we wanted to trade properties and were willing to pay a huge difference. Her true colors were revealed and she became very rude and abrupt and blamed Airbnb. She failed to mention this 50% cancelation fee knowing that we were looking to upgrade between two of her properties and she took our full payment on the 2nd property before telling us that we couldn't cancel the first property without a significant fee. In the end, we were stuck with both properties. In the weeks leading up to our stay, we heard from her frequently, telling us to hurry up and cancel the first booking. She wanted us to pay the 50% cancelation fee AND give up our reservation. We already paid $3,000 for 4 days for this property. Why would we just forfeit $1,500 to cancel? She was probably pushing us to cancel so she could rent it to someone else. There are many wonderful properties to rent in Kauai. We strongly recommend renting from a different host who is honest and fully transparent.

Please note: The home is located next to the ocean but it's also in the Jungle. We live alongside geckos and other small insects that are part of the tropical ecosystem. If you are someone who is not comfortable being near bugs & geckos, Ha'ena may not be the right location for you.
Mahalo!
Beach Gear: Beach Chairs, Beach Umbrella, Cooler & Boogie Boards
Also: Beach Cruiser Bikes and soft-top surfboards (available upon request)
Your reservation is for you and your immediate guests. Unless discussed/agreed to in advance, no large groups / events allowed.
As much or as little as you'd like :) Would be happy to share our local knowledge and friendly advice on best way to explore Kauai's gems.

You will fall in love with the beauty of Ha'ena. There's a reason why several celebrities (Pierce Brosnan, Julia Roberts, etc) own homes just a few blocks down the road! Hawaii's best snorkeling (Tunnels Beach & Ke'e) are a quick bike ride away where you'll most likely to swim with our resident sea turtles! Enjoy a scenic bike ride away from the world famous Na Pali coast. If you're adventurous, the 2 mile hike to Hanakapia'i Beach with it's expansive ocean view is a 'must do', but if you can handle an extra 2 miles to the Hanakapia'i Falls you'll be blown away by a 300' waterfall!
If you're a Surfer or want to take a surf lesson, you've come to the right place. Hanalei and Haena is the surfing mecca of Kauai both for beginners and advanced. If you're looking for something a bit more mellow, you'll love going Stand-up paddling up the Hanalei River.
While the neighborhood offers some of Hawaii's best hiking, snorkeling, diving and surfing - it's also has some gorgeously pristine beaches just minutes from the house...or grab a beach chair and enjoy the beach right out in front of the house!
The town of Hanalei is just 4 miles down the road and offers some great restaurant options in case you don't feel like cooking. Tahiti Nui is an awesome bar often playing live hawaiian music...or try the 'Dolphin' which serves locally caught seafood.
We'd be happy to pass along our local discount (10% OFF any adventure) to our guests:
- Helicopter Tour
- Na Pali Boat trip
- Surfing / SUPing
+ etc.
Just let us know :)
We highly recommend renting a car as there are many secluded beaches and great hikes which are difficult to reach with the bus.
Caretakers live on property in adjacent studios to ensure our guests have everything they need for a enjoyable stay. Home located is on elevated second story with spacious Ocean and Jungle views!! (NO SHARED SPACE)

Ha'ena Haven was perfect for our Honeymoon! The house is set against beautiful, untouched land and every morning we woke up feeling like we were in paradise. The house was clean, quiet and centrally located next to everything we wanted to do on our trip to Kauai - Tunnels Beach, Hanalei Bay, Na Pali Coast - all were within a short drive! (The beach across the street from the house was great too!) The house also came with amenities (snorkel gear, bikes) which made our stay and experience so much more wonderful. Thank you, Kristi and Steve - we can't wait to come back!

We brought six highly energetic teenagers to the North shore of Kauai - mistake? ...maybe. However, we couldn't have had a better 'save' with the great hospitality and ongoing, awesome recommendations from Kristi and Greg. The kids ended up totally enjoying all of the activities. We also really enjoyed the house, as we hadn't planned to eat out much while giving the kids their space took priority. The large kitchen made that possible. The rooms were also quite spacious, making it easy to 'get away'. We also loved all of the plugs - more than enough for all of the kids' electronics. ;) Lastly, Kristi and Greg's responsiveness and hospitality can not be overstated; two fantastic hosts who were immediately available for almost any request.

We arrived for an early check in and were greeted by so much help taking our luggage upstairs for us. During our stay we were offered fresh picked banana's and coconut! Throughout our visit we were treated as family and every question or inquiry was met with overwhelming help and assistance. You could not meet or want more genuine people taking care of you!!!

Fantastic stay! There is a (basically) private beach across the street and you can ride the cruisers to Tunnels beach. Also, Sushi Girl is great and is also a bike ride away. Home was clean and extremely comfortable! Want to go back!

We loved our stay at Ha'ena Haven. The house felt spacious enough that our party of 7 didn't feel crowded and the house itself is very pretty and clean. We so appreciate that there are ceiling fans in every room. Having access to a washer/dryer proved essential. If you are looking to stay on the north shore, this is a great spot. My favorite thing about the location is that the beach directly across the street happens to be oriented east, which meant we watched the sun rise almost every morning. Then head just a few minutes down the road to Tunnels or Ke'e and you can see the sunset. Amazing! Parking at both Tunnels and Ke'e can be challenging, but it was easy to get there early because we were so close. Often the early riser would take the car down with all the gear and others would follow on the bikes. Kristi was a very friendly and responsive host and even gave us bananas from the yard and baked us banana bread. The house has beach towels/mats, chairs, boogie boards, a few sets of snorkel gear and paddle boards that you can borrow. We loved it, highly recommend it and hope to come back ourselves!

This place is even better than the photos. It feels expansive inside yet totally connected to the outside. The lanai is perfect for having dinner, taking a nap, and just hanging out. We visited with 4 adults and 3 x 15 month olds and this place worked really well for us. Quick walk to the beach, down the driveway and across the street. A 5 minute walk down the beach got to a great swimming area, even for babies. A quick drive to snorkel with sea turtles and other fish. Kristi and Steve were super helpful - we borrow snorkeling and beach gear as well as surf boards and SUPs from them. They gave us space but also stopped to chat and give us local insight! Great vacation and would definitely stay here again. Good for toddlers too - pretty baby proofed! 100% recommended!

MeghanJune 2016

The house was fantastic, incredibly roomy and just as described. Kristi and Greg were incredibly hospitable. Greg brought us plenty of local fruit from his farm, which was a great way to taste various breeds of fruits. I would definitely recommend this location and if/when I come back to Kauai will be coming back myself.

O...M...G. Exactly how the house is described is how it is. You see the outside & you think "ok", but then inside is fantastic. Huge Kitchen (i cook), really large living room with big TV that we watched the olympics, Master bedroom was perfect for us, while the kids had their own rooms. No on ever felt crowded. Walked to the beach or hopped on the bike to go snorkeling...Incredible!! You feel like you're in another world...10 minute drive & your in Hanalei, another 5, on the golf course at Princeville. Kristi is so sweet...gave us several suggestions, her best was the Holo Holo sunset charter on the Na'Pali Coast & seeing Waimea canyon. We couldn't have spent our last day on the island any better. Her contractor Greg, Lives on the property so any problem he takes care of immediately. Plus, a total wealth of info on local snorkeling, (URL HIDDEN) didnt hurt that he brought us a coconut (which he machete open himself) or papaya or fresh bananas that grow on the property, was just super nice. We loved Kristi's house & our stay there so much, we are already trying to figure out when we can go back!!

We had a wonderful time at the hideaway and found it to be even nicer than in the photos! Perfectly located, close to all the beaches of the north shore and nearby to Hanalei but still away from all the hustle and bustle. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen after getting wonderful ingredients from the farmers market and the Dolphin fish market. The beds are super comfortable and the place is private and quiet. Snorkel and beach gear was great, towels and sheets excellent quality. Highly recommend this tasteful hideaway to anyone seeking a true north shore experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ha'ena Hideaway! The marvelous Tunnels Beach is just minutes away by car. The start of the Kalalau hiking trail is also just down the road. The vistas are amazing!! The house was comfortable for our family of five, and we really enjoyed the outdoor shower! It was a short drive in to the town of Hanalei where there are many good restaurants and a great coffeeshop with a wonderful porch. We are excited for and envious of anyone who is planning a trip there now - we were sad to leave!

FeliciaJune 2016

We arrived around 8:00pm Christina was really sweet and welcomed us. The house was really comfortable and met all our needs. The location of the house was amazing and the property was really beautiful. We never met Esteban but Christina was a wealth of information and gave us all kinds of tips , she brought us snorkel equipment at a hands notice and told us exactly where the best places were to snorkel. We will most definitely come back again and would love to stay at this wonderful little piece of paradise. Thanks for making our vacation so special.

This place is awesome, so easy to love and enjoy. Almost don't want to boast about it because it felt hidden and easy. Like a perfect secret. The beaches were magical and so were the days. Thank you guys.

This place was amazing and such a great deal for the north side of the island. You are literally a one minute walk to the beach, a mile from Tunnels (snorkeling with turtles--go a little later in the afternoon), and very near the cute town of Hanalei as well as the Napali coast. Esteban and his people were great. They were happy to help us out with suggestions and were generally really helpful. The space was clean and pleasant with plenty of room for the 5 of us to hang out if we needed downtime. The kitchen was fully equipped as well. Highly recommend this rental especially as it's on the north shore, as it was everything we wanted in an island paradise.

We had a great time Esteban and Christina are lovely and Handlei is a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

The Haena house was perfect! This is a true gem! For our birthday celebration my friend and I chose this listing for a 5 day stay to simply beach it, grill and chill and cocktail away. It offered privacy, space and the most gorgeous secluded beach I've ever been on. Literally one minute walk from the house. Esteban was an awesome host and even Aaron and Marion? Housekeepers were like old friends by the time we checked out. The house is absolutely spotless and is equipped with everything you'll need for fun in the sun or just grilling at home. I have to say I truly fell in love with this home and I promise to return year after year. Thank you all! ALOHA!

Yes, There is always someone to assist with guests needs or questions.

Most of our guests have a Rental Car while staying here on Kauai.
Always be cautious when near the ocean here on Kauai. We recommend our guests ask the local life guards at the beach, just a 4 minute walk from the house, where it is safe to swim or surf.

Diane was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were pleasantly surprised to find an avocado tree on premises to eat from, and she has bikes to borrow to ride into town. If you like to stay up late, be aware that roosters may wake you up at dawn. The location is unbeatable, within walking distance of the beach, food, and the pier.
